Georges Niang, a forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers, is aiming to expand his role beyond being a sharpshooter this season. Under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, Niang is encouraged to embrace a 'connector' role, which involves facilitating plays and improving team dynamics both offensively and defensively.
Atkinson highlighted Niang's potential to enhance the game through effective passing, cutting, and screening, as well as his communication skills on defense. Niang is committed to adapting his playstyle to better support his teammates.
